8. ACCESSORIES: Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall,

causing serious injury to a child, an adult, or damage to the unit. Mounting of the unit should follow the

manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. VENTILATION: Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the

unit and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The top or bottom panel

openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The unit should

not be installed in a built-in location such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should

be free space of at least 6 inches (16cm) above the unit and an opening behind the unit.

10. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: The unit may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a

plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety

feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should fail to fit, contact

a licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

11. POWER SOURCES: The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your unit dealer or local power

company.

12. POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay close attention to cords where they enter a plug, or a convenience

receptacle, and the point where they exit from the unit.

13.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING: If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the

antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, NSI/NFPA 70, provides information regarding proper grounding of the

mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an Antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

14. LIGHTNING: For added protection for the unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused

for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

15. POWER LINES: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside

antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be

fatal.

16. OVERLOADING: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Never push objects of any kind into the unit through openings as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind

on the unit.

18. SERVICING: Do not attempt to service the unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

20. SAFETY CHECK: Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety

checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

To accommodate a wide range of home entertainment systems, this player features numerous

types of connections for both audio and video. Please continue reading this section for help

determining the best possible connections for your system.

BEFORE CONNECTING

Read the instruction manuals of any component that you plan to connect to the DVD 7 player.

For all components, turn the power off and unplug them from the wall outlet before making any

connections.

Connect the DVD 7 player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD 7 player to a VCR, TV/VCR

combination, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD Video images are

copy protected.

Please note that video connections to a TV or monitor are necessary because some discs require

on-screen menu interaction before they can be played.

CONNECTIONS TO A TV

Using the Audio/Video Connection Cable

Using the audio/video cable (Three RCA cables with left and right audio plus one video cable,

not included), make audio connections from the ANALOG OUTPUT L and R jacks to the

corresponding audio input jacks on the TV. In the same manner, make the composite video

connection from the VIDEO OUTPUT video jack to the corresponding video input jack on the TV.

Be sure to set Audio Setup > Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-screen setup

menu.

Note: Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with the corresponding

jacks on the DVD 7 player and the TV: yellow for composite video, red for R (right)

audio and white for L (left) audio.

OPTIONAL VIDEO CONNECTIONS

Visible improvement in video quality, when compared to composite video connections, can be

achieved by making either S-Video or component video connections to a TV or monitor

compatible with these connections. When either S-Video or component video connections are

made, it is not necessary to make composite video connections using the yellow cord of the

audio-video cable.

Making Component Video Connections (Interlaced)

If the TV or monitor has interlaced component video inputs, making this type of video

connection will produce the ideal picture quality for the presentation of DVD video. Using a

component video cable (not included), connect the interlaced VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT

jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the TV. Actual labels for

component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (E.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y,

CB, CR) Component video cables are typically designated with red (R), blue (B), and green

(G) color bands to show how to correctly connect them to the player and the TV.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

In some TVs or monitors, the colors levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or

the tint may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance. Be

sure to set Audio Setup > Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-screen menu.

Making Component Video Connections (Progressive)

Some TVs or video monitors are equipped with Progressive Scan component video inputs

(with BNC Connectors) that are capable of reproducing a progressively scanned video signal.

Connecting to these inputs allows you to view the highest quality picture with less flicker.

Please ensure that the Red, Blue, and Green designated cables are correctly connected by

matching colors at the DVD player and at the TV connections. Component video connections

offer the best video playback for many TVs.

Making S-Video Connections

If the TV or monitor has an S-video input, making this type of video connection will produce

improved picture quality over a composite video connection. Using an S-video cable, connect

the VIDEO OUTPUT S-Video jack to the corresponding S-video input jack on the TV. Be sure

to set Audio Setup Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-screen menu.

OPTIONAL AUDIO CONNECTIONS

The DVD 7 player provides numerous ways to take full advantage of the digital multi-channel

sound recorded on DVD media.

When listening to CD Audio

For full enjoyment of CD Audio media, it is recommended to make connections from the Left

and Right ANALOG OUTPUT jacks to the Left and Right DVD or CD player input connections

on your preamplifier, AV Receiver or surround processor.

Making Stereo Audio Connections

By making connections to a stereo system, you can improve the quality of the sound of

cinematic presentations as well as make effective use of the DVD player's ability to playback

CDs. Using an audio cable (sold separately), make audio connections from the ANALOG

OUTPUT L and R jacks to the corresponding jacks on the stereo component.

Note: Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with the corresponding

jacks on the DVD player and the stereo component: red for Right audio and white for

Left audio. Do not make connections to the PHONO input jacks on the stereo

component, as it is not compatible with regular line level inputs.

Digital Connections

Make digital connections from the DVD player to an AV component that features digital input

capability or one or more multi-channel audio decoders to realize the full cinematic

experience made possible by the DVD format. This DVD player features one set each of an

optical and a coaxial digital audio output jack and can output Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM bit

streams. Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL (Toslink) jacks to the digital

optical input jack on the AV component using an optical fiber cable (sold separately). Make

connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL jacks to the digital coaxial input jack on the

AV component using a coaxial cable (sold separately). It is not necessary to make more than

one type of digital connection to a single component, when you are making connections to

an amp or receiver that has internal Dolby Digital or DTS decoding capabilities.

GETTING STARTED

SWITCHING ON

After making sure that everything is connected properly and that the player is plugged in, press

the POWER button on the front panel to turn the player on. Turn on your TV and make sure that

it is set to the correct input for the DVD 7.

The front panel POWER button switches the player ON and OFF. When the player is OFF, it can

only be turned back on using the front panel button or the ON button on the remote control.

When the player is ON, you can put it into STANDBY using the POWER button on the remote

control handset or the front panel button.

USING THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS

For ease of use, this player makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).

Familiarize yourself with the way these work as you'll need to use them when setting up the

player, or when using some of the playback features and making more advanced settings for

audio and video.

The screens are navigated in a similar way, using the cursor buttons to change the highlighted

item and pressing ENTER to select it.

CHANGING SETTINGS TO MATCH YOUR TV

Using the SETUP menu, you can determine the settings that best fit your TV and system. Press

the SETUP button. Use the UP

, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHTcursors buttons to select

the desired setting.

1. Select VIDEO SETUP.

2. Select TV DISPLAY.

If you have a widescreen or 16x9 TV, select the Wide

setting. Widescreen DVD software is shown using the

full screen area. When playing software recorded in

conventional (FS or full screen, 4x3) format, the

settings on your TV will determine how the material

is presented. See the manual that came with your TV

for details on what options are available.

If you have a conventional or 4x3 TV, select either

NORMAL (Letter Box) or NORMAL (Pan & Scan). In

Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with

black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan

and Scan chops the sides off of widescreen material

to make it fit the NORMAL screen (so even though

the image looks larger on the screen, you're actually

seeing less of the picture). Press ENTER to save the

setting.

GETTING STARTED

The default setting of this player is MULTI and unless you notice that the picture is

distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to MULTI. If you experience

system. Unfortunately, this may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch.

Once you have made your changes, the settings are retained until they are changed again, even

when the power is turned OFF.

Note: For some menus, the initial values can be changed during playback.

NTSC & PAL Video Standards

There are differences in discs for the NTSC and the PAL

TV systems. The MPEG video on a DVD disk is stored in a

digital format. It is formatted for one of two mutually

incompatible television systems, either as NTSC or as

PAL/SECAM. Therefore, there are two kinds of DVDs

available, either NTSC DVDs or PAL DVDs. Some players

only play NTSC discs; others play PAL and NTSC discs.

North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America use the NTSC

format for video. The rest of the world mostly uses the PAL video format. There are two
